Listen Later

We all know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but it is easy to forget how intimidating those first few feet can be. Whether procurement is focused on strengthening their core skills or pushing for larger scale impact, it is essential for everyone to be aligned in their thinking, to leverage their strengths, and to know where the journey is expected to end.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Priya Kumari. Priya is a manager at Kearney where she specializes in strategic operations, sustainability, and innovation. Her experience in consulting gives her a broad perspective on the importance of performance transformation, operating model design, and change management.

Priya speaks about the many opportunities procurement has to increase their impact:

  • Where the boldest leaders and decision makers find the inspiration for their ideas
  • How procurement can balance ‘big bold’ aspirations with table stakes efforts
  • What separates companies that struggle with procurement transformation from those who succeed
